Whatever soul unions had they lost decades ago. For you baseball and legal fans I suggest you watch the superb HBO doc, The Curious Case of Curt Flood. It involves race, unions, antitrust, and the Supreme Court. It is pretty even handed in showing Flood as a flawed Shakespearean hero. And, it shows a former Supreme Court Justice, Arthur Goldberg, being an egotistical ham n' egger.

VanderLeest was not the GOP's first choice to run against Democratic state Sen. Dave Hansen, who is facing recall for temporarily fleeing the state to prevent Republicans abolishing collective bargaining rights for public workers. The party found themselves stuck with VanderLeest after Republican state Rep. John Nygren failed to get the required number of signatures on his nomination papers.

Another false premise thrown out by you. This has become a habit it seems.

Now, back to the topic at hand. Are you ready to denounce these calls by the Union?

1) Told callers "not to vote" 2) Revision of #1 saying told callers "not to worry about voting"3) Saying the calls referenced the primary held last Tuesday4) Explanation of #3 that the primaries are the recall election5) Saying the call said they would be sending a ballot6) Saying the calls were illegal

I might have missed a few, I'm going by memory.

Now, back to the topic on hand. Focus. Are you ready to denounce these union calls?

I don't know about you; but I have a land line. So, yes. I'm always getting unwanted telephone calls.

Do you know how fast I can hang up the phone?

Do you know how fast I can stop on a dime?

There's no need to listen to sales pitches! "Cold Calling" ... can also produce the response you heard to Fred Clark's "dialing for voters" ... phone call ... when the phone not only got slammed down in his ear ... "Susan" got off an answer to his question ... with "IT'S SUCH A CRIME."

Interesting that the "push" issue is anti-abortion. Just another reason to realize most Americans aren't on the side of the religious nutters.

They're not on the side of unions, either.

And, the Internet carries more messages forward ... than you can "dial a phone," can. Can. Can. (Which was a great showpiece dance.)

Now, back to the topic on hand. Focus. Are you ready to denounce these union calls?

You scolded us last time that there wasn't anything wrong with the misleading robocall, now you want me to denounce this one? That takes a lot of choot-spa. Anyways yes, I denounce all misleading robocalls. I won't ask you the same because I already know the answer.

Another false premise. I didn't say there was "nothing wrong with the "misleading robocall", I said there was nothing misleading about the robocall.

Now you asked for what false premise, and I since you have chosen to avoid response, we can assume that you agree that you were just making shit up.

This is how libs argue...present opinion or bullshit as fact, and go from there. When challenged, punt.

One robo-call tells people not to worry about voting in the upcoming election (when an election is being held in the next day or so) 'cause an application for a absentee ballot will be sent to them. The Ann-a-holics see nothing wrong with that tactic, but the group spews venom&hate because of a robo-call that didn't mention one of the candidates names in an upcoming election.

Then again, in all fairness, looking at the responses it seems that most people who are outraged didn't actually follow the links to the original story...they are just reacting in a Pavlovian manner 'cause Althouse rang their bell.

See what I mean about liberals? They all do this...start with bullshit and create their argument of of it.

The Right to Life call did not say "don't worry about voting." Or "don't vote". Does that matter to a liberal? No. Will they repeat it over and over? Of course. Do they find any shame in doing it? No. The funny think is that they can actually right shit like this:

"Then again, in all fairness, looking at the responses it seems that most people who are outraged didn't actually follow the links to the original story...they are just reacting in a Pavlovian manner 'cause Althouse rang their bell."

GM, I'm curious what you think about this:"[W]hile allegations of misleading robocalls by a pro-life group received widespread mainstream media coverage, the same was not true for the misleading pro-Wirch calls."

Oh, he'll denounce it... as soon as he finds evidence (or makes up evidence) that Fox News is guilty of the same thing.

Garage must be able to couch his denunciations of Lefties in terms of "both sides do it".
